UPDATE:
Went over late yesterday, as I've been working 16 hour days lately. In installing the cage, we figured out that we'd either have to lose the hood pop lever inside the cab, or relocate it. I opted for hood pins. We started on those yesterday, and got them all set up. Like everything they took 3 times longer than expected. The pins weren't long enough to just bolt down to my header panel, so we had to weld a washer down to the header panel, then weld a nut down to IT. Anyway, here's how they came out:

While Lee was working his magic trying to tig a galvanized washer and bolt to a galvanized body, I started cutting material and building my LCA's. These are 2" .250 wall 4130 with 1.25" chromo heims. I think they'll be strong enough for me
Going back over there today, we're going to the welding shop to get some bigger tig rod and some other goodies. Stay tuned for today's progress (tomorrow)

Those LCA's look super beefy. Nice work.

I stopped drinking Soda haha, that was the first can I grabbed out of Lee's garage fridge
Thanks, hopefully they'll hold up!
UPDATE:
We didn't get much done this weekend, but we got a pretty major item finished. We were both pretty beat, so we worked on small table stuff rather than getting down and dirty. Lee finished up welding the LCA's we assembled yesterday. While he was doing that I measured, cut, and prepped the material for the upper control arms.
For the uppers we used 1.5" .120 wall DOM sleeved with 1.75" .120 wall DOM. Fisheyed on one side and plug/rosette welded on the other. For the open end we used 1/4" stainless plate. Keep in mind the axle side isn't finished yet on the UCA's, I still need to drill the hole, and round out the ends. Also going to brainstorm on what kind of plating we're going to use to gusset and reinforce the ends. Hopefully the control arms will hold up

I also got the front end back together while Lee was welding. I installed my spiffy BajaHID.com Hi/Lo HID kit along with new fresh new US DOT cut off headlight housings. My old VVME kit stopped going high / low, and my housings had mud caked in the bottom of them. She looks good with a new set of eyeballs...
